Comment I obviously missed something (Score 1) 260
US Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, paragraph 2:
"He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur..."
This seems pretty explicit to me. I do not understand what the administration's argument is here. And none of the critical articles I have read mention this clause. It's as if this isn't the standing issue here. Can someone explain to me how the President can legally sign a treaty without a senate vote?
